Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 36% 2/5 “[It's] a torpid, dreary continuation of what's becoming the Dumbledore Reunion Tour, this is puff and smoke-fantasy without splendor, joy, fun, or much color at all.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2018) 89% 4/5 “It's a devastating portrait of our laborious despoliation of the earth (trudging through sludge is its signature shot). This survey of our destructive impact seems like a post-mortem.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Best F(r)iends: Volume 2 (2018) 1/5 “A tedious, sluggish connecting of smeared plot points, the story dawdles and dallies.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% 1/5 “Bohemian Rhapsody is biopic agony.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 15, 2018 Full Review In Search of Greatness (2018) 92% 2/5 “In Search of Greatness, the latest from Gabe Polsky (Red Army), explores the passion, obsessiveness, and creativity in sports. But, though intriguing and sometimes adrenalizing, this search stumbles.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Viral Beauty (2017) “It's hard to watch and tough to look away.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% 3/5 “Beyond the stabs of tension, there's a disturbing self-reflection on Halloween's appeal.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Oct 24, 2018 Full Review Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) 75% 2/5 “As it is, Bad Times at the El Royale ends up feeling like a long drive in a slow-building desert storm: vast, arid stretches of story between lightning-flashes of action.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Oct 24, 2018 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% 4/5 “Wondering if our plugged-in world is short-circuiting our most haywire years, Eighth Grade is neither alarmist nor condemning -- just wincingly sensitive.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Slender Man (2018) 8% 2/5 “Unfortunately, Slender Man is just a schlocky horror flick. Even then, it's a little too reminiscent of recent real-life horror.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Sep 6, 2018 Full Review The First Purge (2018) 55% 2/5 “After its intriguingly tasty first course, though, the overwritten dialogue, undercooked characters, and overdone camerawork reveal themselves.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Borg vs. McEnroe (2017) 84% 3/5 “Twinned in their passion to outmatch the other, their sporting "love" seems a strange, awful, awesome game.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% 4/5 “And what remains so pleasantly surprising is how slyly and smoothly, from start to finish, this chronicle of a much-beloved children's program goes against the grain of the Trump era.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% “A dull con-artist movie like Ocean's 8 makes its audience feel like suckers.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% “But the neatest trick that Hereditary manages is the feeling, especially in that beginning and with its ending, that there's some strange force beyond us, perhaps even beyond this film, just waiting and beholding us...” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Adrift (2018) 69% 4/5 “What emerges, most remarkably, is how one 24-year-old's sense of herself, for nearly six weeks on the planet's largest ocean, slipped and shifted but found enough resolve, enough of a polestar-force guiding her on, to keep her not just adrift, but alive.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% 4/5 “[Writer Diablo] Cody locates lots of lovely comedy in the harried, hamstrung, and harassed.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) May 17, 2018 Full Review You Were Never Really Here (2017) 89% 5/5 “In its skittering vision of innocence corrupted, the film's beauty spellbinds even more.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Final Portrait (2017) 73% 4/5 “Stanley Tucci's docudrama of this trial-by-paint, Final Portrait, is at its wry, weary best when it enfolds the grumbly master-artist in a fuggy funk of this-isn't-good-enough.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Apr 18, 2018 Full Review The Death of Stalin (2017) 95% 4/5 “Iannucci takes some historical liberties, da, and super-compresses all the post-Stalin angling for power... But the reverse-courses, doublespeak, and obfuscations are 1984-ish dystopia-politics at their bitter best.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Apr 4, 2018 Full Review Tomb Raider (2018) 52% “All this low-rent, intrepid Indiana Jonesing-for-adventure is stuffed with poppycock and twaddle.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Mar 22, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% 1/5 “The movie prefers to drift into CGI mistiness, big-budget FX supplanting any emotional subtleties. There's no wonderland here at all.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Annihilation (2018) 88% 3/5 “There's some grisly predation-metastasized nature's red in fang and claw-but the clearest message here concerns the constancy of change.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Phantom Thread (2017) 91% “Anderson may have outdone himself with his latest tale.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Feb 22, 2018 Full Review The Square (2017) 85% 4/5 “If that sounds lofty, this is more surreal japery than suave satire. It plays out at times more like an arthouse-Jackass or a cringe-comedy made chucklingly icky-odd.” – Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Feb 15, 2018 Full Review
